You can order directly from
me by sending a check in the US mail.
It is as simple as this:Print out an order form by
clicking HERE!Instructions are on the form. Print it,
fill it out, mail it with your check to the address on the form.
You're done!

Or: If
you don't have a printer, or just want to be "old school"
you can do the math yourself and write me a letter with your check:

Write me a letter (or a
short note), telling me what you want, and where you want it
sent
(You could send one to a friend as a gift -- or have it come to your home or
office.
It's ok to split your order between different addresses.)

Multiply the total number of CDs by $16, and write a check
for that amount made payable to Joel Mabus

Send
that check along with your note to:

Joel
Mabus
PO Box 306
Portage, MI 49081

It's just that easy, send a check & tell me
what you want.
(See
the fine print below for refunds & breakdown of
prices)

This way you can use a credit card -- or something like it -- to pay me over
the internet,
and I will mail you your order directly, saving the time waiting
for a check to arrive in the mail.

The PAYPAL price is the same as standard mail
order:
$16 per cd, postage & tax included (fine
print)

If you
are a
seasoned PayPal user, you know the drill.
At "Send Payment To"
just enter my usual email address joel.mabus@pobox.com (don't
forget the dots!)

Important: I DO NOT have a
"store" or a "shopping cart" at PayPal.
You will need
to TELL ME in the "message box" what you are ordering to avoid a back-and-forth flurry of emails:

In the "message box" be sure to tell me the title of
WHAT you
are ordering, and any other instructions -- like WHERE to send the package.
Feel free to send me a separate,
private email if your order involves anything special -- alternate address,
autograph, large order, etc.

When you
finish, once you submit your order I will be notified instantly by
PayPal and I can begin to fill your order.

If
I am out on the road when your order comes in, your package
may be delayed a day or
two, but I have a pretty good track record
with turn-around time. If you have a time crunch -- birthday or holiday
-- let me know by email, and I'll try to help you out.

If you want any of the CDs
autographed or personalized be sure to let me know! I won't sign them unless you ask me to.

Over the past few years the US
postal service has greatly increased costs for packages to other countries, even
ones that are not "overseas." I used to service Canada for the same
shipping fee as USA, but can no longer absorb the increased cost.

So for ALL orders going outside
the USA, please contact me by email before you make your order, and I will give
you a quote on the cost to your particular address. joel.mabus@pobox.com

PRIVACY PROMISE:I keep your mailing address and ordering history in my own secure database
for my business accounting records. I DO NOT RECORD YOUR CHECKING ACCOUNT
NUMBER! I may use your mailing address to contact you by post card on a very infrequent basis
-- if I
have a new recording coming out, or if I may be touring near your zip
code. BUT I NEVER SELL OR LOAN YOUR ADDRESS TO ANYONE -- NEITHER MASS
MARKETERS N OR OTHER PERFORMERS N OR PRESENTERS! I have been marketing by mail
for more than 30 years and have never violated this solemn oath. If you
ever decide to delete your name from my rolls, just tell me and it is
done.

*The Fine Print

As of January 2018:

SALES AND RETURNS:For orders shipped inside the USA:
The mail order sales price for any CD is $16 total price for a delivered CD.(unless you
request a different shipping option) The breakdown is $12.00for
the CDitself plus a
non-refundable shipping
& handling flat-fee of $4.00..
If
you return a CD because of a problem, you will be refunded the $12.00
if you wish – or get a replacement free of charge.
For CD orders from outside the USA:
The sales price is the same $12.00 per CD in US dolars, plus a shipping charge
to be determined according to current postage rates. Write me an email to get a
quote.
Returns from outside the USA: refunds given only for returned defective
discs, replacements may incur a shipping charge depending upon location. Email
me before returning.

For my Parlor Guitar
Book published by Hal Leonard:
The sales price is $15.00 for the bookitself plus a non-refundable
shipping and handling fee of $5.00 for USA orders.
That equals $20 total price for a delivered book.
(unless you request a different shipping option) If you return a book in unused and re-sellable condition, you will be refunded the $15.00.

If you live outside the USA, it is usually cheaper by far to have your nearest
all-service music store order the book for you directly from Hal Leonard
Publishing. They have offices world wide.

ABOUT SALESTAX:

IF YOU ORDER FROM WITHIN THE STATE OF MICHIGAN, I WILL PAY YOUR SALES
TAX FOR YOUR PURCHASE.

IF YOU ORDER FROM OUTSIDE OF MICHIGAN, I DO NOT COLLECT SALES TAX ON
YOUR PURCHASE
I do not collect nor remit sales tax,
duties or fees for US states (other than Michigan) or any other governments.

DETAILS:Orders that ship to an address within the state of Michigan
are subject
to Michigan sales tax, because that's where I live and do business.
But the final price to you is the same either way, because I WILL PAY
YOUR TAX. Consider it my gift to a fellow Michiganian or
Michigander..Technically the $16 you pay for a CD is "$12.00 with 6% MI tax included,
plus $4 shipping & handling."
Same goes for my $20 Parlor Guitar book, which is "15.00 with 6% MI tax
included, plus $5 shipping & handling."

That 6% "tax
included" does indeed go to the State of Michigan treasury. I keep
fastidious records and I write the state a hefty check every year.
My Michigan Department of Treasury Sales Tax License number is available upon
request.
